PERNETIANA ROSES i« 



roses, which were named after M. Noisette, and the 

 Penzance Briers, after Lord Penzance. 



Already there are two sections of the Pernetiana 

 roses : the members of one resemble Soleil d'Or in

 be in a few years' time when these remarkable roses 

 are blended, as they surely will be, with other kinds.

 of the flowers compels the attention of every one. 



Cissie Easlea. — A novelty of which experts have a 

 high opinion. The growth is vigorous and the flowers are 

 very freely produced. The leaves are so large and shining 

 that one is reminded of those of the Camellia. The colour
